    So far today there is a deafening silence on Aldi's Facebook page from any company reps. I wonder if there is one big damage limitation exercise taking place, or are Aldi hoping that by keeping stum people will just go away and stop bothering them?

    That's not going to happen :mad:

    A lot of comment on the Aldi FB is starting to centre on Parent & Child places and Disabled bays - deflecting from the main issue.

    And then there's the JimmyKnowsItAlls telling people to bin it, ignore it as well as 'you're legally obliged to reveal the driver'.

    Still no confirmation of PE's position as to whether they are content (aka colluding as principal) with PE in taking their customers to court.

    That I think for the moment is where the pressure should be exerted.

    The answer has got to be yes or no; they can't buck-pass it to PE, after all they are PE's principal and are jointly and severally responsible.

    But it provides proof that the Parking Eye camera system does nothing to actually manage the car parks

    Absolutely. I haven't read every single FB comment, but I've not spotted one that has nailed this aspect down so everyone understands the point and Aldi are made to explain how PE are 'managing' this aspect.

    There are so many issues here for Aldi to face, but one thing's for certain they're going to have to face every which way, and all at the same time. Interesting!

    A CCTV camera linked up to dodgy automatic software does not manage a car-park, only humans can manage parking.

    Just a shame Watchdog has ended their current run.

    They still have to film for the next run, presumably in the autumn.

    Just posted this on Pepipoo.
    Interesting bit of reading from the parking motorist's favourite hero:

    PE know when it's an Aldi car park so do Aldi, if they where serious about customer service why is there not a leaflet with the charge stating "if you are a genuine Aldi customer, don't worry ring our in house spy from the eye and get this charge cancelled"? simple but very effective, unless you want to make money from shoppers!!!
